Pro Tips for Making Crunchwrap Supreme:
Seal It Tightly – If your large tortilla isn’t quite big enough to fold and seal properly, microwave it for 10–15 seconds before assembling. A warm tortilla is more pliable and less likely to tear.
Get the Perfect Golden Crust – When toasting your Crunchwrap, start seam-side down in the skillet. Press it lightly with a spatula to help it seal, and cook over medium heat to get that perfect golden-brown, crispy finish without burning.
Customize the Fillings – Swap ground beef for shredded chicken, black beans, or even sautéed veggies for a meat-free option. You can also add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat!
Use a Large Tortilla for a Better Wrap – If you can’t find burrito size tortillas, or just want to use up what you have on hand and the tortillas are too small, overlap two large tortillas slightly before assembling to give yourself more wrapping room and prevent any filling from spilling out.
Make It Meal-Prep Friendly – Prep your seasoned beef and chop your toppings ahead of time for a quick and easy weeknight meal. Just assemble and toast when you’re ready to eat!
Make Your Own Taco Seasoning – Blend: 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, salt to taste instead of using the packet of taco seasoning.
Saucy Suggestions for Serving with Crunchwrap Supreme
- Spicy Chipotle Sauce – Blend mayo, sour cream, chipotle peppers in adobo, lime juice, and a dash of garlic powder for a smoky, spicy kick.
- Avocado Cilantro Crema – Mix avocado, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and fresh cilantro in a blender for a creamy, tangy topping.
- Zesty Nacho Cheese Sauce – Warm up extra queso sauce and stir in a little taco seasoning or hot sauce for an extra punch of flavor.
- Creamy Jalapeño Sauce – Inspired by Taco Bell’s signature sauce, blend mayo, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, garlic powder, and a splash of vinegar for a tangy, slightly spicy drizzle.
- Salsa Roja or Salsa Verde – Keep it classic with a fresh, homemade or store-bought red or green salsa for dipping.
- Garlic Lime Sour Cream – Stir fresh lime juice and a little garlic powder into sour cream for a bright, creamy complement to the Crunchwrap’s bold flavors.
